Happy 2012 everybody! I spent a wonderful 10 days in Buenos Aires over the holidays. It was warm and sunny, I went swimming, walking, played squash, ate lots and lots of meat, drank lots and lots of wine and yerba mate!! Could you possibly imagine a better time?

Coming up this weekend is GoldenFest, the annual New York City Balkan Music Extravaganza. I’ll be performing as usual with Slavic Soul Party! at Midnight Saturday (at the Grand Prospect hall–5th Ave/Prospect Exp in Brooklyn) as well as at the “Official Goldenfest Afterparty” at the Black Horse, right around the corner on 5th Ave (start time: 2 AM). Come one, come all!!!
